Ethics: A Refresher

Abiding by ethical obligations is an ongoing requirement of professional practice, and critical to preserving a barrister’s reputation. 

This session, presented by members of the Ethics Committee, aims to remind practitioners of some of their important ethical obligations, and to assist them in understanding and interpreting the rules.  The panellists will identify some of the areas that commonly result in ethical complaints against barristers, and to provide some guidance as to steps that can be taken to avoid such difficulties.

The session will also revisit the procedure for obtaining a resolution from the Ethics Committee, and refresh practitioners’ knowledge about the Bar’s grievance procedure.
